Garmin GPSMAP 78Garmin international is pleased to announce the next generation in marine handhelds: the GPSMAP 78 series. Incorporating a sleek, new design and must-have features, these rugged units are a great fit in Garmin's best-selling lineup of color marine handhelds and they float!

Featuring a bright 2.6-inch LCD color display with built-in basemap and high sensitivity GPS receiver with HotFix, the GPSMAP 78 series takes recereational navigation to a new level. All three models are waterproof, include a built-in microSD card slot for loading additional maps and have a dedicated MOB (man over board) button.

If you're looking for the ultimate high-performance marine handheld, take your pick from the GPSMAP 78 series.

I purchased the GPSMap 78 mainly for use in the Caribbean & US Gulf. I was very satisfied with Hodges Marine's website, their pricing, and their after-sales service. The purchase was painless and this GPS works great for both marine and land navigation. It's small, lightweight, rugged, easy to use, has an easy-to-read display and good battery life. To get the most from this device, consider adding an after-market screen protector and one of Garmin's additional map packages, like BlueChart or CityNavigator!
